每日口說挑戰你常生氣嗎？生氣到底是好是壞？ (Why Anger is Overrated | BBC Ideas)

☺I allow myself to become enraged and that if we're honest, I think we have to agree with the Stoics that our emotions are choices, even when those feelings do feel quite hard to resist.
我允許自己感到憤怒，老實說，即使有時候某些情緒上來時，我們會覺得很難忍住，但我還是覺得我們必須同意斯多葛學派所說的「情緒是種選擇」。
【心得】我比較容易感到煩躁和焦慮。倒是我們家有一座活火山，動不動就會噴發...

Thanks, Annie! I totally agree that the greatest remedy for anger is postponement.
==> In today’s episode, we’re going to discuss anger. What do you think of when it comes to anger? And in what kind of situation will you get angry? For me, I really get angry {but once 只有一次} I was overwhelmed by anger, I can’t think or say anything. It’s really scary, right? It seems that anger controls my brain, and I can’t do nothing about it. Stoicism is mentioned in this video, one of its central ideas is that emotions are choices, It’s us that decide and permit(v.允許) one emotion to happen. So if you get angry, it means that you let yourself out of control. Do you support the Stoics idea and think of emotions as choices? Let’s talk about the sentence of today first and you can answer this question after this episode.

*斷句可以斷在逗號、介系詞、連接詞、that 子句。
do 為強調意思，可稍加重語氣

I allow myself *to become enraged *and that if we’re honest*, I think we have to agree with the Stoics that* our emotions are choices*, even when those feelings do feel quite hard to resist.

All right, that’s all for today’s pronunciation challenge. Anger is one of human’s emotions, so it’s normal for you to feel angry sometimes. But there are different ideas about whether feeling angry is bad. For example, the Stoics, we mention today, think it’s your choices when it comes to emotions. Do you agree their ideas? Or do you believe that emotions are natural which are hard to resist? Show your options with us and leave comments below. Don’t forget to practice today’s sentence and see you next time.
